Description

In three pencil strokes, Philippe Starck explains his concept of the Bubble Sofa Club. Take a Twenties classic Club and make it into a simple, modern and innovating settee. Whereas the Club sofa was the privilege of middle-class interiors, Philippe Starck reinterprets this object with a greater concern for making it accessible to all. Using a hollow polyethylene casing manufactured in the roto mold process, the final product is a robust, ecological piece of garden furniture that can be used in a living room. The soft lines of the sofa are classical, enduring, and lasting; no one will want to throw it away. This documentary explores his use of form, matter, color, and technique to create a product that is part sculpture, part statement, and part design.
